What is 52 percent of 29.89 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 29.89 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 29.89 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.89=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.89=100%
2) x=52%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
29.89/x=100%/52%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 52% of 29.89

29.89/x=100/52
(29.89/x)*x=(100/52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.89=1.9230769230769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9230769230769) to get x
29.89/1.9230769230769=x
15.5428=x
x=15.5428

now we have:
52% of 29.89=15.5428
